Correspondence of the Gazette
CHICAGO, ILL, Feb. 2.-'Tis now mid
way between the season of winter and
summer sports, and although summer
sports will be welcomed heartily when
their season arrives, may safely say that
few if any of the young people of the city
have yet begun to show any signs OF
firing of ice skating, toboggan or sleigh
ing parties. Last Saturday evening the
Drexel Toboggan Club rendered recep-
ton to Miss Fortescue, the pretty actress
now playing an engagement at the Grand
Opera House, and who upon her arrival a
week ago declared that although she
loved the stage, she loved tcbogganing
better The reception took place ct the
clubs slide upon the south side, and the
principal enjoyment of the evening, it is
needless to say, consisted OF an hours
Jolly tobogganing by the club members
and Miss Fortescue and her company.
Every one was sttired in full toboggan
costume, and the pretty actress declared
she would remember the evening with the
keenest delight so long as she lived. Just
now the finest tobogganing of the season
is being enjoyed, and no one anticipates q
final break up before March at the earli-
| est.
BASE BALL.
| Kelly has not yet signed with Chicago,
and the prospects for doing so are no
better than when l wrote you last.
"Have you heard anything from Kelly
of later" asked of President A. g. Spald-
ing this morning.
mo, sir; and do not want to hear
from him. l am tired of hearing his
name mentioned-in fact am tired of
everything connected with him. l did re-
ceive letter from him about six weeks
ago telling me in very plain words that
he would not play base ball in Chicago
this year under any circumstances. Now
if he means what he says, shall simply
try 10 get along without him, that is all.
OF course want him with us, if he will
come to play ball as he played it last
year, but will have no disgruntled man
in my team no matter how much ability
he possesses or what his reputation is as
a ball player. If Mr.. Kelly wants to
play ball with Chicago this year, he
wants to tell me of the fact at very
early day, for do not propose to incon-
venience my team or jeopsrdize its inter
ests one instant upon Mr.. Kelly's ac-
count"
The only players Of the Chicago team
who are showing themselves about town
are Arson and Billy Sunday. Both are
putting in their time at the head of the
ball park toboggan slide, and the deft
manner in which they take charge of the
pretty girls as they seat them upon the
toboggans and then shoot them of down
the slide would seem to indicate long
practice in ouch delicate work.
/ was speaking with an old sdmirer OF
the game the other day, who told me q

North -Asheville wants sewerage-facili-

was recently offered our city authorities,
which ought to have been taken, and we
hope will be. The plan would serve the
whole northern half of our city. The
improvements in that section have been
SO numerous and of such q character as
to merit this necessary improvement, and
we hope our authorities will give it early
and favorable attention.

We take the following items of interest
from the Lincoln Press:
1--WE are informed by gentleman from
Rutherford county that Mr.. T. H. Cobb
the attorney for the Carolina Central
Railroad has entered suit against the
commissioners of Rutherforl county to
recover bonds due his road amounting
to $4,000. The principal is $27, 300
which with inter- est from January l, 1860
amounts to $4,000. There is no doubt
of the ability of the Carolina Central re-
covering the amount sued for rs it is due
under very plain contract.
This promises to be, by reason of the
brilliant array of legal ability engaged in
it, and the large amount involved, one O.
the most interesting suits that has been
tried in this section.
Mr.. I. H. Cobb, formerly of this place
but now of Asheville is the leadipl
counsel for the Carolina Central. He il
one of the finest lawyers of the State anC
the AshevilIe bar is to be congratulated
upon having him among its members.
There are seven bridges on the Caro-
lima Central Railroad between Sbelbl
and Rutherfordton, and every one o
them is built of iron and upon the lates
plans.
The objective point of the Carolin'
Central Railroad is Asheville."

Is THIS So?
Some one, evidently special adj
mirer of Mr.. Pearson, writes the
Adeancc that money" will control
Buncombe; and as an evidence
states that Mr.. Pearson has more
influence than any dozen men in
the county, all on account of his
"money." To ascrfbe no other
attraction to Mr., P. but his filthy
lucre is no credit to him. while to
say he can control Buncombe with
his money is an insult to our peo-
pie, such a one as We believe they
will not hesitate to resent. Boodle'
ism does not hold sway in this grand
old county yet; and men who car
only rely upon it, as seems to be the
case with Mr.. Pearson, will soor
reach their level. Their element il
Buncombe politics, have already
reached this.

grace and modesty. 1t was a grace

the part of the police tender
ed to their Chief. Capt. Waddell,
it seems, Is a little backward in ad-
mitting tie ripe age to which he has
attained; but his force accidently
found out the day upon which his
sixtieth birthday would dawn, and,
prepared the Gaming surprise for
him. Out of respect for his sensi-
bilities about his age they did not
say to him it was "sixtieth births
day gift" but it was, all the same,
and they are well pleased at the
grateful pleasure with which the
"old,gentleman," as they sometimes
call him, wears his testimonial, and
all wish him many happy returns
of the happy day.

The New Orleans papers continue
to give encouraging reports of the
crop outlook in that section. The
Times DssSdcrdt of the 21st sayathat
30 far the present month has been
the best, agriculturally, ever known.
The crops, it is estimated, are now
better than for ten years past, are
from six to eight weeks ahead OF any
previous season, with an increased
acreage, and promise OF much lar
ger yield. This is especially true of
cane, cotton and corn, and nothing
but the very worst of weather, a con-
tinuously bad season, can prevent
this being the best agricultural year
that Louisiana has ever known: and
what is true of Louisiana is largely
true Of Mississippi, Arkansas and
other neignboring States. Money is
easy, supplies cheap, and conse<
quently the planters will raise the
growing crops more cheaplY and
proftably than they have ever done
before, not even excepting 1882.
Again, the levees are in good cendi-
ton, better than ever before, and
planting and cultivating can begin
at much earlier season than here-
tofore.

DRAINAGE OF MUD CREEK SWAMP.

DRAINAGE OF MUD CREEK SWAMP.
We notice in the Hendersonville Times
a call from the chairman of the Board of
Commissioners of Henderson county to
the members of said Board to meet on
Wednesday the 30th. inst.-to.day-to
call an election to vote on the question
of issuing bonds for the drainage of the
lands lying on Mud Greek, according to
the provisions of an Act OF the last Leg
iSlature.
The CITIZEN had the honor some three
years ago to make a suggestion now en-
bodied in the enactment of the Legisla-
ture. The work was t0o great for private
enterprize, and of sufficient importance
to enlist the public aid and cooperation
We estimate, from information, tnat the
area to be reclaimed is about 10000 acres
la deep rich alIuvion covered with g
dense growth, principally birch, but with
large admixture of other trees and thick
tangled undergrowth of vines and shrub
berry. though this the waters of the
creek wind in many fold, the loops be
ing connected by innumerable sloughe
/ The fall of water is great enough tt
admit ready and thorough drainage wher
the chanAel shall be Strengthened. Th<
whole of the drained surface, when re
claimed, will give to agriculture landI
quite equal to the valley lands on tn,
French Broad, suitable to all the grains
ESPECIALLY well adapted to the grasses.
4 We hope the people of Henderson
county will not hesitate q moment il
their decision. If they decide upol
drainage they will silence forever tn,
complaint made in recent issue OF tn
Iimcs that the county did not make en-
ough grain for its own consumption. Il
this connection We may state that thi
basin of Mud Greek, though a yeritabl
impassable swamp, gives out no taint Q
malaria, and is stranger to the mosqui
to. The town of Hendersonville, ha
, enclosed in its embrace, is noted for il
healthfalness. In truth this strane
, ianomaly is found on the very crest of th
Blue Ridge, not forty feet below the sun
nit level at HendersoRville, and has a
: the immunities of climate of the elevi
ton of 2550 feet.
